A Concurrent Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to study the creation of a Statewide housing accelerator and to conduct a comprehensive review of State and local housing approval and permitting processes that delay residential construction.

This bill directs the Joint State Government Commission to study the creation of a statewide housing accelerator and review current approval processes that delay construction. The study will examine how inconsistent zoning rules, conservation district backlogs, and permitting steps slow down residential projects, while also looking at successful strategies used by other states. The commission is tasked with developing recommendations to streamline these procedures and expand housing availability, with a final report due to the General Assembly within one year.
